27 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)

8If you pursue justice, you will attain it
and wear it as a glorious robe.
Honesty. Sir.27.8-10πρὸ λογισμοῦ μὴ ἐπαινέσῃς ἄνδρα·
οὗτος γὰρ πειρασμὸς ἀνθρώπων.
9Birds flock with their kind;
so truth returns to those who practice it.
 Ἑὰν διώκῃς τὸ δίκαιον, καταλήμψῃ,
καὶ ἐνδύσῃ αὐτὸ ὡς ποδήρη δόξης.
10A lion lies in wait for prey;
so does sin for the workers of iniquity.
 πετεινὰ πρὸς τὰ ὅμοια αὐτοῖς καταλύσει,
καὶ ἀλήθεια πρὸς τοὺς ἐργαζομένους αὐτὴν ἐπανήξει.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
